About

Carmen Gray began this blog in 2014 when her daughter was diagnosed with a rare form of lymphoma, from which she fully recovered. Nevertheless, the cancer journey was staggering and writing was a way to cope with the emotional pain. It re-awakened the writer in her. She writes and sketches regularly. You can find her featured posts under the Daydreaming and NightThinking tab.

Carmen also crafts fiction, employing elements of the supernatural and magical realism. Her Mexican-American heritage and work with English Language Learners is reflected in the characters of her stories. Below you can find links to her published work. 

In January of 2020, Carmen added a platform for other writers who have gone through transformations of one kind or another and who write about it. Check out the Featured Writers Page, a place to ponder metamorphosis, a place to share our experiences, a place to witness growth.
